Ebo Talyor w/ the Afro Beat Academy song Love Is Not Too Far because it has different kinds of musical styles like Jazz, Smooth Jazz, and a little bit of African music which was really good. Entertainment Weekly thinks it's really good too, and I agreed. And thats why I picked Ebo Taylor w/ the Afro Beat Academy.

The video Love Is Not Too Far could mean a lot of things. To me this is a variety of different cultures. They play a lot of kinds of music. It is pretty cute to me. Knowing that different cultures can come together. This is what i think.

The Song "Mountains Will Never Surrender" sounds very mysterious and creepy especially at the beginning also it sounds like something that Lil Wayne would be doing except that it is more calmer than what his songs are usually

Mountain Will Never Surrender by Doctor L. is a great example of mix of music. It is interesting how different we think that most parts of the world are but, we are similar in so many ways. This song is similar to artist I know for example I think Kanye West and Kid Cudi are alike Doctor L. . I really like the song because it is creative and a mix of hip -hop, rock, and gothic appeal etc. Another thing that appeals to me is the video which is amazingly creative. I like it because it is unusual and tells a story in it’s on. In all this is a different and great song which leads me to say that there are good songs that are all over the world and its okay to get out of your comfort zone.

the song sweet life with Doctor L and Allonymous is a good song because it sound like some old school stuff that i would hear around the house and i can see what the person is talking about

What I think about love is not to far is that this video was unique in its on way because this viedo included different types of cultures. I think that this video is a wonderful video that should be played in Social Studies or Global Studies classes because this has something to do with history and what affects it has on different cultures that come together as one. :)

I dont think i'm by myself when i say the Le Damn Dog song is crazy. expecally when they start off with floating head i jus dont understand but maybe thats looking at music from a diffrent approach. it seems that they are devil worshipers are something but i guess. Its most definately not a song that i could listen to or advis and others to listen to

Le Damn Dog Watch Out is a very crazy and wierd song. I knew it was wierd when i first saw the floating heads. I started not to like the song when they start talking about killing annd devils. I honestly dont like the song i think they worship the devil

Le Damn Dog-
Le Damn Dog Song "Watch out" was something else. To me it would cause you to keep your eyes glued to the song because its so funny. "Watch Out" remind me of a song from the U.S.A. This song has some close similarities.This song had a mixture of, hip-hop, rock n roll, and pure punk. After all this is a funny song, I dont think I would listen to such a song like this.
